Sustainable Innovation

Downgauging - less is more

• Testing of the existing pack to establish areas of improvement.
• Develop new pack geometry to enable a reduction in the film gauge.
• Reduce the new plastic packaging tax burden.
• Improve the appearance and pack performance.

Foam monoPET with density >1

PS and EPS are considered problematic categories of plastic packaging. AMB are:

• PET white light barrier applications
• Designed for recycling (density >1 g/cm3, mineral filler <4%)
• Lighter than PET and comparable to PS
• With R-PET recycled content
• Cuts more easily than traditional PET sheet

Foam easy break monoPET

• PET white light barrier applications (dairy)
• Designed for recycling (density >1 g/cm3, mineral filler <4%)
• Lighter than PET and comparable to PS
• With R-PET recycled content
• Excellent cutting for form, fill and seal applications
• Multipack breakaway features are more consistently formed so packs stay together until the customer chooses to separate individual units
• After thermoforming the material snaps

Clear monoAPET

• Ready to Recycle
• Same properties as multi-layer materials, but is a mono APET
• Greater transparency
• Facilitating recycling because of single material (no polyolefins)
• Offers benefits as it can be easily sorted and recycled where the right infrastructure is in place

High barrier packaging DESIGNED for RECYCLING

• Designed in compliance with the EU Recycling Guideline (PETCORE – CITEO – RECOUP – CEFLEX)
• Ecodesign – monoPET on the bottom combined with a floatable lidding film or a monoPET on the top
• Food shelf life is guaranteed
• Packaging O2 residual stable near zero and OTR < 0,5 cc/pkg/day
• Already tested for different foodstuffs applications such as fresh pasta, pizza, sliced ham and mortadella

r-PET

Reducing carbon footprint using 70.000 metric tons/year of PET recycled raw material in substitution of virgin resin, for saving of 98.917 metric tons of CO2 eq.

• At least 70% of PCR recycled PET in the core layer – ABA structures
• Up to 100% of PCR recycled PET food contact from super cleaning recycling processes EFSA approved

OCEANIC waste and bound PLASTIC packaging

We re-use plastic once extracted from the oceans and from nearby areas where plastic potentially floats into the oceans

• The packaging is made from 80% recycled content and a minimum of 30% of the weight of the product is made up of ocean plastic.
• We supply a document verifying the origins of the material: collected from oceans, beaches, rivers, lakes, and the immediate banks of those waterways
• This material is also suitable for food grade applications .

Black monoAPET – NIR detectable

• Facilitating recycling because no Carbon Black
• new black dye detectable by NIR instrumentation making the black packaging recyclable
• Offers benefits as it can be easily sorted and recycled where the right infrastructure is in place
• No presence of Carbon Black
• High efficiency in sorting
• Enabling recycling

FLOWPACK mixPO recyclable packaging

• Designing polyolefin-based flexible packaging
• recyclability in compliance with CEFLEX Gudeline for flexible packaging

WATER BASE technology

• Printing quality is as good as solvent base process
• Inks adhesion on different substrates as good as solvent
• Sandwich and outside printing is possible
• Ink density superior to solvent base (up to 20%)
• Different coatings are now available (matt, tactile..)
• Higher eco-efficiency than solvent based inks and adhesives
• Very high Green-Tack. 6 hrs from lamination to slitting
• Transparency of the laminate as good or better than solventless
• No risk of migration of unwanted substances in food staff.
